Marine76 chapter 10 . 9/28/2019 I really love your story. Please update soon |
jay chapter 10 . 6/22/2019 I suppose you gave up this story but it's interesting even if Hermione lacked of planning. She should try to change things. I like her cat and mouse game with Rosier. |
sunlitglass chapter 10 . 12/4/2018 Hi! I wanted to tell you that this is a wonderful story, I loved the plot and character interactions with Evan(wow) and Lily and Sirius. I also completely adore your portrayal of a war affected Hermione with her intelligence and power, paranoia and PTSD. I was so gleeful upon stumbling upon this jewel of a fic but sadly discovered it hasn't been updated in forever. More horrifying and heart breaking is the thought that you might have abandoned this fic! I just keep popping up once in a while to reread the story while wistfully hoping for an update. I finally decided to post a review cause who knows, maybe, just maybe, it might just motivate/inspire you to restart the updates. I would have thanked you for writing this but the 'not been updated in forever' part makes me lose any enthusiasm to do so (no offence).That being said, if you do decide to pick this up again I will thank you and review each and every chapter with all my heart and love! |
wutzit2yah chapter 10 . 8/29/2018 I need another chapter please! 3rd time re reading and it's still a joy. |
Jj chapter 10 . 2/21/2018 I hope you’ll come back to this story. I’m not sure how I stumbled upon it. But it’s really good. It’s not very often you find something so original on here. I love your portrayal of the characters. The scenes between Hermione and Sirius broke my heart and Evan is very interesting and original I’d love to see how their relationship develops more. |
LyrebirdSong chapter 10 . 3/8/2017 I don't know if you've abandoned this, but I thought I'd leave a note to say that I very much enjoyed the first 10 chapters, your portrayal of a war affected Hermione is very well done. I hope you'll consider continuing it. |

angel897 chapter 10 . 6/15/2016 interesting and fun to read |
lokilette chapter 6 . 5/3/2016 Hrm, I'm confused. Why did she take her O.W.L.S and N.E.W.T.S if she was just going to be sent to Hogwarts? N.E.W.T.S are seventh-year final exams, which means she should have tested out of schooling completely. I'd think they'd be more concerned with a 17-year-old Apparating without a license. I like that Hermione at least has a sense of how much impact she could have on the future. Being her, of course she would, even if she's being railroaded into doing something anyway. I like that we get to see her process of thinking and worrying over things. [What if James Potter fell in love with her?] - THIS WOULD BE A TRAGEDY! You're killing me. D: *dies* Althouuuuuuuugh. You know that dream? Yeah, the one where she was basically in Lily's shoes. That would be interesting foreshadowing...NO! No. What have you done to me? -.-; *pouts* [such a powerful magical person as Harry] - I dunno if that's true. I mean, Tom Riddle was pretty powerful. A bit off his rocker, but powerful. Can't exactly say his parents had much of a love story, though. [she had come across the "butterfly effect"] - This feels repetitive and unnecessary, because you've already gone over her concerns on this aspect already, so I feel like this is rehashing information we already have. [or rather Harry's old] - I think I missed something. I thought all she had was her pouch? Where did she get Harry's old trunk? I love her reasoning for the new satchel. Things are beginning to change! Ahahaha it's always the Browns. That killed me. xD I love how Hermione is "the new kid" who's presented as a bit of a mystery. Definitely interesting. Oh, it's really interesting the way Evan views this as a game. It's like one big chess match with each trying to outmaneuver the other, and I love that line of thinking. It definitely works well for Hermione, but it lends itself to some awesome characterization for Evan, as well. SPaG: [That is one thing I can be assured will not happen.] - This is a thought, so it should be italicized [would do, did the] - period [stopped, it might] - period [Some of that were ] - was [Buying books were] - was [against it, one ] - period [question, she didn't] - period [malice, she guessed] - period [down Evan Rosier] - comma after down [Evan was busier] - busy? [with them, at times] - period [like minded people ] - like-minded [to be, it certainly] - period [dark threatening voice] - dark, threatening [the big Oaf yell] - oaf [seen her, it was] - period |
lokilette chapter 5 . 5/3/2016 Oh, it's a dream! I was a bit confused at first. Maybe italicize it to set it apart so that right away the reader knows it's a dream sequence? The dream was definitely interesting, though. I wonder what it is that she "knows." That he has a hold of Harry? That Harry's going to die? Oh, and now Hermione's basically taking the role of Lily! That's a twist. I'm really liking this dream. There's lots of tension and foreshadowing, and I'm wondering where it's going to lead or how she'll react to it. Oh no. No, no, no. The dream is telling her to kill Voldemort, but Hermione, you KNOW what happens when you mess with the past. D: Or you should. That one woman blinked, like, 27 families out of existence just after spending a day there. T_T I can't watch. But I have to read on. But...but...*covers eyes as she reads* Hermione seems to waste a lot of time in this doing really useless things. D: I can buy that she's trying to take her mind off the time travel and disturbing dreams now, though. I totally stress clean, as well. xD [wondered if you could ever cast one after killing someone.] - I feel like this should already be answered, as the Order have killed people and are still capable of casting Patroni. Patronuses? Whatever. Oh wow. The price for not taking your exams is steep, man. o.0 The Wizarding world doesn't mess around. [Leaving the Ministry after getting the results of her tests several weeks later] - This is confusing. Is she literally living IN the Ministry at this point? There's a big jump here that I'm not sure what happened. Going home...but Hermione, you aren't even born yet. D: You have no home, as much as it pains me to say it. Should turn out to be interesting. SPaG: [Guilt, wracking her body, leaving her a stumbling mess.] - This is an incomplete sentence. Racking her body. "left her," would make it a complete sentence. ["You know Hermione.] - comma before Hermione ["No." she choked out] - comma instead of period ["Harry." she choked again] - comma [said, she turned] - period [He breathed in deeply] - missing a period [when they parted] - capitalize [the past Hermione"] - missing period [ was gone, instead] - period ["Ron I can't." she pleaded.] - Comma after Ron, comma instead of period. ["Kill Voldemort Hermione."] - Comma after Voldemort ["it's 1977] - capitalize [as skillful one] - as skillful as [around the Forest] - forest [plenty of, Harry] - period [But at the time they had ] - But, at the time, they had [ idiot, he had] - period [muggle money, the coins] - Muggle, and period here. [printed 5~10 years] - I would recommend not using numerals and symbols but typing it out. "five to ten years" [And therefore, would be forced to go to Gringotts.] - incomplete sentence. "therefore, she would be..." [sitting test she] - missing word here |
